Zya could feel her face become a bit flushed and her eyes widened a little at him. Why? He seemed to be staring at her a little, attention was all on her. She tucked her hair behind her ear and nodded slightly as she looked at the ground. "Thanks...." It wasn't often that someone complimented her. He seemed to be thinking because he was quiet.

Then her attention went to Nick who she waved off. But with that, she turned her attention back to Taurus who seemed to be internally fighting himself. But from what? For a moment her old self returned "Hey...are you okay?" She asked taking a step towards him, hazel eyes looking up at him. She put her hand on his blazer gently. A playfulness hinting in her eyes. He seemed distracted, all the more to have some fun.

She stood on the tip of her toes, secretly keeping his attention on her so she could slip her hand into his jacket pocket. Grabbing the stone and winking at Taurus and spinning around and taking a few steps away, "This thing is quite interesting." She paused as she heard a faint voice from the rock, it reminded her of the shadow, holding the rock up over her head in between her index and thumb as she closed one eye at it. "It...speaks?" she said quietly, it was mostly to herself but if Taurus tried hard enough he could probably hear what she said. But before she could go too much into detail or have him ask for the stone back she grabbed his hand and put the stone back in his hand. Once she released the stone the whispers stopped.

It was then that she heard a gunshot. It echoed and ricocheted off the walls, and made a ringing noise in her ears. Normally she wouldn't give a care in the world about something like that. But this time something shifted within her, she let go of Taurus' hand and darted out of the store, clothes were not paid for but she didn't care. Pushing through the crowd that surrounded a person laying on the ground. It was in that moment that time stood still, she looked to Nick, blood surrounding him. "N-nick?" she whimpered slightly, words quivering and stuttering. "Nick!" she yelled as she ran up to him and knelt down beside him, picking him up in her arms. "It's okay. You're fine." she said as she tried to make herself believe he wasn't already gone. Tears threatened to fall, her hood still down.

She looked at everyone around her "Why aren't you helping him!?" she screamed as tears started to stream down her face. Her face looked to Nick's his was pale, and no responses to her. "No....please. You....you are all I have left Nicky.." she whimpered once more. At this point the shadow was starting to feed off of Zya's emotions. 'They did nothing. They sat there and let him die....' it said to her.

Just a short time skip for Nick to speed his actions up

Nick had been working like any other day, each job was different, each task was different. And they were usually done rather quickly, like no longer than 30 minutes or an hour. Usually. And he had been walking back to the clothing shop he had left Zylah and Taurus in. He had let his guard down, not paying attention to his surroundings. Someone ran up to him.

Click. Bang.

The sound echoed through the pathways and could be clearly heard in the clothing store. It wasn't even a chance, a clean shot to the chest, killed him instantly, as he lay on the ground, motionless. People started to gather around murmurs about what had happened. A girl it seemed, though it was hard to tell because she had a mask on her face, all that could be made out was the small strand of hair that fell out from the hood she had up, blonde. And a flash of blue eyes. The girl made her retreat into the shadows and escaped.

He felt his face get warm. He really tried to stop it. Hold it back. He had this blank and dumb smile on his face when she approached him and out her hands to the buttons of the SUIT. his eyes matched to her Hazleton eyes. They were so pretty. With a slight tint green. It was like looking into a damp forest in the night. Wait. She's asking a question. "Uh- what? Yeah- im- I'm fine yeah-" She pulled away with the stone in her hand he quickly checked himself a soul bamboozled on how she did that. How did he let his guard down like that. How did she- HOW?! She said the stone talked to her?! "Ok- very funny. Sneaky little- you.... Wait did you say it- talks to you?" She grabbed his hand and places the stone in his palm. Immediately it burned and ate his skin. He yelped in pain not wanting to drop it he quickly pulled out his handkerchief and dropped it into his other hand folding it in the handkerchief. "Owwch!" He cursed. "That hurt." He shook his hand out JAZZ HAND there was a small red mark on the pa of his hand the shape of the stone. It stung and burn and soon will itch really badly. "Ok yes it speaks. Just- not to me so- lucky you" He said grasping his hand which burnt.

Them he ears the gunshot. His head ducked flinching at the sound. He hated guns and had a fear of them from past teams of them. Zya left his arms where he almost forgot she was there. She ran to the door shoving people out of her way taurus follows having to keep track of her. She stopped falling on her knees to Nick who lay in a puddle. His eyes the same as the death he witnessed before. He saw a flash were he saw his little sister the same dead face, the lifeless eyes that stared endlessly. The cold skin. Zya picked Nick up to her lap. The tears were falling from her face so quickly. He saw himself in that same position. And he felt it again. The heart break. The anger. Every part of him die inside. Everything falling into darkness. He wanted to go comfoo her bit now was not the time not will it be for a while. All she had left.... That was like taurus loosing his brother. All ofth e side this huge guilt washed over him. How dare he hung a girl like her who just wanted peace. To be left alone of all flaws. Just like him. How dare he try and make her miserable for the sake of I formation. She was someone too. Someone like taurus who had feelings. He changed his mind. He wasn't going to use her for information. He want going to use her at all. Inst d he was going to be there for her. Be the person taurus never had in his life when he lost his only sister and his mother. He didn't say anything. She didn't want to hear it. Everything was not ok. Nothing was ok. This was bad. And it was wrong to lie and say that to her. He simply stood in silence. She screamed at everyone who backed away. But taurus stood where he was.

She found it entertaining that he was entranced with her. So he does have a heart... she joked to herself. It only spoke to her? That would be something that would need to be talked more in-depth with later...if that later ever did come. Though found it funny that she was the only one who could hear the voice. But also she wondered to know why he was getting burned by the same stone she had been holding. But once more that would need to wait.

Her hand gripped Nick's shirt, her hand tightened so much her knuckles turned white and drained all color from them. She felt like she couldn't breathe, removing the hand that gripped Nick's shirt and put it to her chest. She let out a scream, it was blood-curdling, filled with pain, and anger. It echoed through the tunnels of the underground city. Kill them... the shadow whispered. It was at that moment that the aura around her shifted. 'We don't hurt Taurus...' she said to the shadow. She had this eery aura consuming her, darkness. Fine....for now. She looked to Taurus who was standing there. He did nothing wrong, and there was this look in his eyes, and on his face, like he had seen something like this before, personally. Zya felt broken, she felt lost, she felt so alone even though Taurus was still there. But who was stopping him from leaving? He wasn't permanent, and there was nothing to make him permanent, he had no reason to stick around with her.

There was like this smoke-like darkness emitting from her as she slowly stood up. Her hands were clenched into fists as she looked at the people around her. There was fear in their eyes. Her eyes slowly becoming black as she let the darkness consume her and let the Shadow take control. "Taurus....you should leave...." her voice was shaky. On each side of her, dark familiars in the form of wolves form beside her, their eyes glowing red. They snarled stepping forwards to the crowd. Murmurs from the crowd as they began to feel uneasy. They treat you like the villain, all the more reason to act like one.... the shadow told her. The darkness rolled out in plumes like a fog machine filling up a room. The tears that ran down her face were also black as well, and this overwhelming amount of power loomed over her. She took a step forwards towards the crowd. In her hand, formed a spear mad of darkness now, she was able to turn the darkness into a solid object when she was like this.

She saw as she let the pain and anger take over. The dark matter just plummeted from every square inch around her. It was like she was ready for war. "Zya.... Calm down..." He started walking towards her slowly and cautiously. "I know your in pain. But these people had nothing to do about it. But the person who hit him did.... So let's go find him... And you can do whatever you want to him then. Ok? Sound like a good plan. You do this have to punish these people the did nothing to deserve it. We can fine the man reasonable... Please..... Put the spear down..." He said holding a hand out in the stop sign.

It was like she had tunnel vision. All she could see was a faint view of Taurus's face. Don't listen to him...they stood there and did nothing as he died.... the shadow urged. Deep down Zya knows Taurus was right, these people did nothing. But that....was also the problem. They did NOTHING. They stood there, murmuring over his body, taking pictures and talking among themselves. Her hand tightened on the spear. "They....just watched." she commented her words were harsh and dripped with malice.

The person responsible... she thought to herself as he said the words. He was right, she should save this anger, hold onto it for the person who did this to Nick. No.... she shadow growled in annoyance. And as quick as the Wolves and Spear were created they dissipated into the air, her eyes flickered back to normal and she crumbled to her knees, using that much power exhausted her, but that was not the only reason she crumbled. She was collapsing in on herself as her hands went to her face and she sobbed again. Why....why did it have to be him? She wondered. Why did the world have to take everyone she cared about from her, was she destined to be alone. She just wanted to curl up, and fall into darkness. But Nick's killer was out there. At the moment though, she couldn't move. "It's....not fair." she whimpered in between her sobs. "He was all I had...What do I do now? I'm all alone...." these words were not meant to be spoken out loud but they were. There was still a slight dark aura that traced her but it was dulled, and more controlled. Her hands went to the pavement, nails attempting to dig into it as her eyes stayed at the ground, hair falling in her face.

He saw as the rage calmed down. She collapses to her knees. He walked over to her and said "thank you... " He out a hand in her shoulder. "Let's go get those wallys and finish those who wronged you. But first.... You need to stay here for Nick. He would want you too."

There was still this pit in her stomach, and nausea came. She felt sick like she was going to be sick. But she pushed the feeling away as Taurus put his hand on her shoulder. She felt the slightest amount of comfort from that. The rest of the aura that was around her was completely gone. She felt so vulnerable, and she hated it. I'm so weak... she thought to herself. She took her hands and wiped her face before looking at Taurus, the hair falling from out of her face but a few strands here and there sticking to her cheeks. She felt a little less alone at that moment. She looked back at where Nick was, in the background a faint sound of sirens. She choked the tears back again, worried she would give in again if she broke down. "I....can't. They will blame me for this if I stay." she said, her voice wavering as she slowly got to her feet again. Her legs felt shaky from underneath her, but she did her best to hide it. The flashing lights from the cop cars and ambulance just down the road. She started to walk lightly brushing passed Taurus, pushing her way through the crowd that was still there. She took one more look back towards Nick. "This....is all my fault..I'm sorry." she said quietly before turning. She knew she was right, if it wasn't for the bounty on her head Nick wouldn't have been a target. And now she could feel these walls going up, she was going to lock everyone out of her heart, if she doesn't care maybe they won't die. She didn't want to get close to anyone ever again, with the fear of them getting taken away from her in her mind.

He looked back to Nick but something was odd.... He could still smell his blood... It wasn't dead blood. But maybe because of the fresh kill. But the smell of the blood spill was making his hunger grumble. He looked back to zya and quickly caught up to her. He grumbled at the thought as now he was frustrated. He thought he was in lead. Guess not anymore. Fallow zya. "They won't blame you zylah they can't they have no evidence to anyway. You should be with your brother. " That clearly didn't work. He fakkiwed by her. She heard her mutters. "Zylah- it's not your fault. None of this was your fault. Do not blame yourself for something you didn't do" He said not knowing what to do after that. He didn't want to just leave Nick there. Sad. He didn't want it to be like this. But zya was in charge now this was her family not his. All he could do us give advise.

Zya was still touchy, and her anger wasn't subsided just pushed aside. But Taurus speaking of something as if he knew the world she lived in made her snap. She spun to face him and stopped in front of him, putting her hand out to stop him, hand landing on his chest again. "You don't know, Taurus!" she yelled at him. "I get blamed for anything because it's easy. I'm a bad person. I'm the one who did terrible things. They don't NEED any reason or evidence to put the blame on me!" She could feel the tears burning as they started to fill her eyes again. But they didn't fall she wouldn't let them. She put her hands to her side, the clenched into fists again. "But it is! It is my fault." she spoke with pain drenched in her words. "If...only I had controlled my powers back then if I hadn't killed all those people. If I had been strong enough, I wouldn't have this STUPID bounty on my head, and Nick would still be alive...I wouldn't be attacked every time I showed my face down here." she said as she looked at him. "I don't expect you to understand....But I am a walking target...." she explained. She turned her back to him and hesitated, she really didn't want to be alone but her words she spoke next were the truth. "That's....why. I think you should leave. I'm a lost cause, and I don't need anyone to protect me." she said harshly. The words felt like knives in her throat and left a bitter taste in her mouth. But she didn't want anyone else to get hurt because of her. "Just go home..." she said as she started walking away again a tear slipped from her eyes as her back was facing him and walking away.

He felt her hand shove him back. Like he ran into a wall or something. He wanted to rile his eyes at her. What she was saying. 'He doesn't understand.' Made him sick. It reminds him of his ex. She would say all the time how she had it worse and that he never understood. But he did. He was very offended. How dare she assume such things. She doesn't know him at all. I mean he doesn't know ow her at all but that just made him want to stick around more. "Fine.... Do that. Don't listen to me. But I'm telling you what I know...From experience" He paused for a second then added on fallowing her still. He knew exactly how she felt. She felt lonely. And he wanted to show her she wasn't. "I'm not going home until I know you have one." He said walking by her with a look telling her he will be stubborn about this.
